I am a theoretical physicist and I hate to say that most if not all the things claimed in this topic are wrong.. Screamin, what you're saying doesn't make much sense.. I'll try to explain a little bit..
First off, it's impossible to prove a theory is complete right. You can prove it isn't wrong, and if there is enough evidence for this, it will be generally accepted. Einstein wasn't wrong (it was around 1910 when he came up with special relativity). The light speed IS a barrier that cant be passed. Only particles that dont have a mass can travel at light speed. The neutrino (the particles they are talking about) has recently been found to have a very small mass. If a particle travels faster than light, this gives problems with causality. Because if you are standing next to the detector in Italy you will first see the neutrino get absorbed and shortly after you will see the neutrino be created in CERN. Einstein already stated that there could be particles that always go faster than light (called katyons) but these particles could never go slower than light speed. So now it's under discussion if this particle only went for a short time over the light speed or the whole time (cuz they can only measure the average velocity). MOre info on demand
After a quick Google search I understand that as one nears the speed of light, time slows and it follows that theoretically when traveling at the speed of light time stops and that going faster than light would mean one would travel back in time due to relativity. The part that us laypeople don't understand is that while the particles in question are measured as going slightly faster than light would over the same distance, the time difference between the firing and detecting is still positive, so cause still precedes effect, which has us wondering why people are jumping to the possibilities of time travel while causality is still intact...
I made a little mistake, the hypothetical particles that can go faster than light are called tachyons. Not such a bad way to make it a little clear, Gagazet. And I dont think the time difference is positive from every reference frame..
Sad. I knew he was sick of course, but I didn't realize it was quite so bad.
Hangman is not a job I'd want. Curious why they don't just shoot them, or do lethal injection, it'd be slightly more humane (considering you're killing someone...)
Of course time travel is possible. What do you think a ghost is doing? There are entities that can do this and they can use it to gather all of the information that they need to know about you... and then impersonate a loved one to redirect you, or even share information with you (Edgar Cayce). These are commonly known as demons/angels.
I ran a quick search on the anti-aging powers of Casein, all I found was people selling pill supplements, and nothing that looked even remotely reliable or scientific.
There has to be easier ways to make 100K than to steal a bridge and chop it for scrap. I wonder how easy it would be to track bridge scrap too... They obviously couldn't start selling the pieces anywhere nearby, they'd be caught too quickly. My real question is though, how does one go about stealing a bridge in the first place?
With skill and precission haha. In all honesty stealing a bridge is probably the easiest way to get 100k, a town over from the city I'm living in there was this big copper horse statue that some tweekers drove there car into and knocked it over, torch cut what needed to be cut and stole it to melt down and resell as scrap. And in another all honesty statement the bridge is probably worth a fraction of what they claim it is, they always over estimate values in cases such as
Sad, things like that probably need some kind of security system these days. A couple years ago a cousin of mine and her husband were building their own house, and the night they put the copper wiring in, someone broke in and stripped it all out. I guess I shouldn't be, but I'm regularly surprised by what some people can and will steal.
Deming's suit seeks a refund for her movie ticket as well as a halt to the production of "misleading movie trailers."
Is that all? Talk about aiming low. I do agree that many film trailers are misleading, if you're going to sue, either go big or go home (and complain about it on the internet like the rest of us do )
This will be interesting if/when it's on the market. A headband connected to your phone to coach you into better sleep and wake up. I bet this would make a great excuse for being grouchy in the morning... Sorry guys, my sleep app didn't wake me up during the proper light sleep phase...
I can see it has it's uses, but i do wonder about it's practicality, most of us live to a fixed time schedule and often our bodies don't sync up with it. I mean it's all good and well to feel refreshed when woken, but if it happens to be (for example) +/-2hrs from when you actually need to be up, it's not so good...
Also, they have phone apps that try to measure the movements of your body while sleeping with the gyrosensors and try to guess what stage of sleep you're in. It'll then wake you up at the best time before, or when you need to be woken.
This i think is a really good idea, except that maybe they should go through a certification process to prove they use fresh foods rather than leaving it up to the restaurant's to make the indication. I doubt anyone will proudly announce that all their foods arrive prefrozen and prepackaged.

Hangman... i wonder what qualifications that requires? Obviously knot tying i guess...

Rather amused by this

Bridge stealing o.O what's next?

Honey, there's milk in my clothes?

I saw that one about the stolen bridge, and i'm a bit perplexed about that one too...
As interesting as that milk based dress is, i have questions over it's supposed anti-aging properties.
The real question about that hair washing robot is how it manages tangles... 24 fingers is a lot of potential for hair to get caught on.
we all know times are tough, but that tough!
What I need is a phone app that does what the transformers do. Scan any car I see on the road, and instantly replicate it.
Not actually news, but amusing.
